my 17 month old baby had her physical exam Dr said her head shrank how is this possible..?

Last physical exam the Dr noticed that my baby's head cnf shrank, now at this Dr visit the Dr said the same thing, I have noticed her speech development is bad she barely says 4 words. Is this bad I'm very worried.

Let me ask you this? How many times do they take measurements per visit? Kids are wiggly, at my doc&#39;s they always take the measurements at least twice! Once by the nurse and at least one more time by the doc. More often than not, they will get different results! So I&#39;d check on that. Also, saying only a few words at 17 months is completely normal.
